The Penderwicks

Mr. Penderwick rented a cottage for his family’s holiday in August in the Berkshire Mountains near their home in Cameron, Massachusetts. The four sisters and Hound Penderwick pile into the car and finally find the cottage behind the imposing Arundel, a mansion occupied by mean Mrs. Tifton and her very interesting son, Jeffrey. What follows is a pleasant, old-fashioned story of a family that encounters fun, adventure—and a little danger—during the family’s August holiday in the Berkshire Mountains. The Penderwicks on Gardam Street continues the family’s adventures.
